# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The grapes transform into something extraordinary, their sweetness balancing perfectly with the savory sausages
  • Its almost entirely hands off cooking, leaving you free to pour a glass of wine and relax
  • The presentation looks like something from a fancy restaurant but takes minimal effort
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd the pan or everything will steam instead of roast, use two pans if necessary
  • The grapes should look slightly shriveled and blistered, that's when they're at their sweetest and most flavorful
03 -
  • Room temperature sausages will cook more evenly, so take them out of the fridge about 20 minutes before roasting
  • Let the pan rest for 5 minutes after cooking, this allows those juices to redistribute and makes serving easier
